Furnace Of Affliction

“For my name's sake I defer my anger,
for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,
that I may not cut you off.
Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tried (I have chosen) you in the furnace of affliction.
For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it,
for how should my namebe profaned?
My glory I will not give to another.
